Can't wait to hear about 2021 or 2022 stats.

Wait I might be actually dead by then, I guess I will be the stats XD

To me, it is perfectly understandable why so many people ctb. We live in a world where there is unlimited potential for suffering after all. I believe that wanting suicide can be perfectly rational in a life as horrible as this, for me it is the only thing that makes sense. I would rather die at a time of my own choosing anyway.

I wonder which covid year is going to be worse, can't even remember how many lockdowns we've had at this point...

WHO go on to talk about targets in cutting suicide rates. Its laughable. Don't they get that many people dont get here because of some ad hoc coincidence. Often its a lifetime of suffering, medical negligence, sickness, poverty, failed parenting, abuse, failed society, etc..... Then again, did they get the pandemic?

Every next one will be worse. I am afraid exponentially worse UNLESS we stop all this shit right now and get into some hard work and rethinking of our values and goals. This way we still would see recession but we could be better off.
